The exam still focuses on development tasks but depends on the developer’s having already passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam and mastering new skills. (The resources specify a minimum of two years of hands-on AWS programming.) ![Top AWS Certifications Useful Ideas](https://i0.wp.com/srinimf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/best-aws-certificate-is-solution-architect.jpg?resize=300%2C250&ssl=1) **AWS Certified Developer – Associate** Determines whether the developer can perform specific levels of application development using AWS.
